Evanston Illinois is a unequal suburb where half of the population is White and Asian educated while the other half is ghetto. The Ghetto half is use to stealing bikes ore than riding them and recently installed bike lanes as touched off some of the poor who rely on automobiles and are too fattened by Churches Chicken to ever contemplate using a bike to get around Evanston. Our issue with this is that all communities should be able to have bike protected lanes and not just the wealthier and tech-filled streets of urban areas.
Some home-owners along Dodge Avenue voiced their displeasure recently in a city council. This is an where pedestrians had to dodge speeding vehicles of Evanston's black community who refused to follow speed directions and so forth. Installing bike lanes can only force these people to slow down in their cars and eventually these people need to realize fighting against these bike lanes is futile and we are working on getting these lanes installed even in the most car dependent and miserable suburban corridors in Chicagoland. fighting against bike lanes is like fighting against progress and this is something the car culture and ghetto hoods around the area need to realize and narrowing the street will end the speed use and racing nature that is in these people. Evanston is a bicycle friendly city and has long tolerated a working poor who bring down the best potential of this area with their incessant crimes and property damage.
The move towards bike culture in America can only be a positive idea given the destructive nature and high maintenance costs that a car polluting environment has required along with its constant road repairs
